Roommates are the greatest. They get you out of bed in the morning, remind you to drink water throughout your night on the town, and are always there for a good cry after that final you failed. So even though the holiday season is coming to close, don't forget about your froomie, whether it's a giant scarf or a monthly snack box.

1. Giant scarves

Every girl needs a blanket scarf. It keeps you warm, doubles as a pillow for late nights in the library, and hides those stains on your t-shirt.

Target.com; $16.99

2. Starbucks mug

I'm not going to say exactly how much coffee I drink in a normal day, but suffice to say it's a lot. Whether it's a frappuccino, a mocha, or just plain old coffee, every college girl needs her own mug.

Amazon.com ; $39.67

3. Laptop stickers

If you walk into any lecture theater on campus, you'll be greeted by the sight of a sea of Macbooks. So what's a girl have to do to stand out? Stickers, of course! The best part about stickers are that you can find ones to suit every interest and passion, so do some googling and find the perfect sticker.

Amazon.com ; $9.99

4. Best Friends Necklaces

Always a classic, best friends necklaces make it easy to show off your roommate goals.

Target.com ; $19.99

5. Food

Whether it's snacks, their favorite dessert, or taking them out for nachos, food is everyone's favorite thing to receive. My new favorite thing: monthly snack box subscriptions

Munchpak.com ; starting at $12.95

Whether your roommate is your best friend or a cohabitator, they deserve a little something. So treat your roommate, and while you're at it don't forget to treat yourself.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
